Jonathan Toews scored on a rebound early in the third period, and the Blackhawks beat the Minnesota Wild 2-1 in Chicago on Sunday night to take a 3-2 series lead in the Western Conference semifinals.

Bryan Bickell also scored and Corey Crawford made 27 saves as Chicago bounced back from consecutive losses in Minnesota. Game 6 is Tuesday in Minnesota.

Erik Haula scored in the first period for the Wild, and Ilya Bryzgalov had 26 stops. Minnesota became the first team to score first in the second round of these NHL playoffs and lose, dropping that record to 19-1, according to Stats, Inc.

"The crowd was frustrated, we were frustrated," Chicago's Marian Hossa said of his team's early deficit. "After the first (period), we just came to the dressing room and (said) we just have to relax, we knew how we need to play. We just needed to take a deep breath, relax and play hard.

"In the second and third, we were better and everybody is happy after the game."

Toews, Hossa and Patrick Sharp combined to put Chicago in front 4 1/2 minutes into the third. Hossa sent the puck in front to Toews at the right post. The captain was stopped by Bryzgalov, but Toews slammed home a backhand for his fifth goal of the playoffs.

Minnesota had a chance to grab the lead in the third but Crawford made a nice kick save on Cody McCormick about 2 1/2 minutes into the period. Crawford also had a solid glove stop on Ryan Suter with 4:38 to go to help Chicago maintain its lead.

St. Louis' goal came three days after his mother died of a heart attack.

"It's probably one of the cooler things I've been a part of in my professional career," said Derek Stepan, who earned the first assist on St. Louis' goal. "The emotion on that goal is something that I will never forget."
